“She’s been charged with nine shoplifting offences

“Her friend tried to drive off but we caught up with him and guess what?

“He didn’t have car insurance either.

“He’s now on bail and will be seeing us again soon.

“We’re working hard with local retailers to tackle shoplifting.

“If you’re struggling, please reach out to support services like food banks as we really don’t want to be arresting you next.”

Local Tracie Price said: “That was a wheelie wheelie good arrest.”
